MORE editing of our remake on Reservoir Dogs

We used "cmd" then "j" on the keyboard to allow us to edit the pace of our movements. We made it slower so that its a slow motion walk and is the same as Reservoir dogs.

Our Editing of our remake of Reservoir Dogs

We used Flop to change the direction of a Scene we filmed to make it the same as Reservoir Dogs.
The original shot that we filmed was our characters walking left to right, when in the original clip the characters walked right to left. This helped to establish precise shot.
To edit our filming we used final cut pro and to use flop on one of our scenes,we went on effects then video filters, perspective and then clicked on flop.

Conventions of film openings

 

This film opening of johnny english reborn shows most of the conventions of a film opening.

 

• Introduces the main character with a lot of face time
• Cleverly shows the main settings of where the film takes place with some graphics
• The genre is set by showing the movements and gadgets used so its a serious but funny film

What i didnt like is that although johnny english is the main character, the intro didnt introduce other main characters. Also the title of the film wasnt shown in the intro which i thought easily could have been added.

Shots We Learned To Film

Practise Shots That We Learned To Film.

 

We practised filming different types of shots within lesson time and these are the type of shots we did:

Establishing Shot: High Angle

 

We used a High Angle Shot of the Shoes to make them come across as intriguing. The lighting was relatively dark, which didn't make the Shoes came across as at all innocent. The shot used created a very soft feel towards the shoes and it's as if a character of a young age will be introduced at this moment.

 

Big Close Up

 

We used a Big Close Up Shot of the Shoes. This emphasies the style of the shoes. It's being framed quite well as their isn't any part of the Shoe being cut off due to the camera. The camera was placed on the floor which created a thrilling feel, as it builds up tension for the audience because they can only view one feature of the person. The Lighting is also dark which reinforces that.

 

Wide Shot

We did a wide shot of our classroom so the whole room comes across as bigger than what it is. It has been framed relatively well because the camera is not cutting off any sides of the Wall of the Classroom, but it is cutting off parts of the chairs being used which doesn't allow the Wide Shot to establish the classroom throughly. Natural Light is being used which creates quite a harmonious Shot.

 

Over The Shoulder Shot

 

We did a Over The Shoulder Shot to try and portray as if a Conversation was happening between two people. It has been framed well as we can see the back of the persons head that the opposite person is talking to. This fits both people within the shot. The Light is quite Dim which creates a Thrilling feel.

 

Two Shot

 

We used a Two Shot which allows two people to be in a shot at once. The framing could be improved as there is parts of the body people cut off due to the camera framing. The lighting is rather Dim which increases the tension.

 

Medium Shot

We used a Medium Shot which emphasies the space within a certain area, as it allows the viewer to see a relatively large amount of space. The framing could be improved as certain parts of the area is being cut off due to the framing. The Natural Light creates quite a innocent feel to the shot and emphasies the person standing in the shot looking out of the window.

Convention Of Film Openings

The opening of rush hour 3 shows the following:

2 main characters
a hint of where the movie is set
sets the atmosphere and mood

i liked the way the characters were introduced you see the contrast between the two, one is serious and the other is not.
